Honest to Genesis integrates the
biblical creation accounts with modern evolutionary theory. It targets a broad
audience, covering both the scientific as well as the theological dimensions of
this subject which continues to erupt in the culture from courtroom to classroom
to living room. Beginning upon foundations in critical thinking, it progresses
to a historic overview of the dialogue between science and religion, especially
as it pertains to evolutionary theory. Readers will learn how to examine the
Bible in light of its unique cultural and geographic settings, its ancient
languages, various authors and the thousand year time span of its composition.
In addition, the foundations of evolutionary theory are delinated, incorporating
the data from fields including geology, paleontology, biochemistry and biology.
The very good news is that conflict need not exist between these often seemingly
opposing disciplines if the biblical and scientific records, both written by the
same divine Author, are appropriately interpreted.
